[yeah. yeah!! he's still pretty adrift over the revelation that his fellow contestants are not all normal human beings from a completely normal world where only normal things happens. but he copes by being confident that he is a fish out of water!!]

[flashes her a smile when she slides closer, rocking to the side to bump his shoulder against hers]


So I take this this means you aren't hiding any wild secrets? You're not an AI, or a vampire, or a mysterious idol from space?

[ Oooh, a shoulder bump. She shoots him a sly grin, bumping his shoulder in return. ]

Nope. Just a regular ol' video game engineer. I could code circles around everyone here, though.

[ A beat. ]

Except maybe the AI.

[ She's just going with it, though. There are so many weird people here! Nothing matters! Yeah nihilism!! ]

What about you? You're not hiding anything from me, hmmm?

Nope. I'm just an average guy, traveling the world and tasting coffee as I go.

[a small laugh. A LITTLE WRY]

I'm still not entirely sure I haven't been kidnapped and drugged! And that his is all an elaborate scheme.

[ She laughs. Sincere, and genuinely charmed, like an actually normal person. There's no show to put on, no big emotions to unleash everywhere — she's just quietly having a good time. ]

I'm sure it's not. I mean, who would even do that? We're just two normal people.

[ Munch munch. Still smiling at him. ]

Drinking coffee travelling the world sounds amazing, though.

[HAHA. . . TWO VERY NORMAL PEOPLE. . .]

It's as amazing as it sounds. I guess you could say I'm on a bit of a vacation?

Almost sounds like you're on a vacation from a vacation!

[ Edamura... living the dream life?? ]

Though maybe we're all on vacation here. I know I sure am.

[not anywhere CLOSE to living the dream like but he is making an ATTEMPT]

I guess you could call it that. I didn't come here thinking it was going to be a vacation, but after hearing some people say that it is. . . I suppose it's not too far off the mark.

[ what more can one ask for tbh

Tilting her head to the side in curiosity. She definitely thought this was at least part-vacation. ]


Really? What were you expecting?

I don't know!

[said with a laugh]

We still have a long ways to go too, and I still don't know what to expect.

[ A beat of consideration. ]

You know what, that's fair.

[ A second beat of consideration. ]

But I'm sure it'll be fine! What's the worst that could be thrown at us, huh? [ THINGS YOU ABSOLUTELY DO NOT SAY. ] I mean we've already met everyone here and that turned out okay!
